Airtran Adds Boston Flights

AirTran Airways announced today it has added four daily non-stop flights between Orlando and Boston. The announcement also touted the start of flights between Chicago and Ft. Myers, Detroit and Ft. Myers, White Plains and Ft. Lauderdale, and White Plains and Tampa. AirTran also resumed nonstop, seasonal routes between Akron-Canton and Ft. Myers, Detroit and Sarasota/Bradenton, Flint and Ft. Myers, and Rochester and Ft. Lauderdale.

The Orlando-based low-cost carrier is still aggressively pursuing a proposed merger with Midwest Airlines. Looks like Midwest, though, is continuing to rebuff the offer.
